Sr. Quantitative Researcher - Delta One Credit Strategies

A leading multi-strategy investment firm is expanding a high-impact Credit Volatility PM team and looking to add a Quantitative Researcher.

This successful Credit Options-focused team is scaling into systematic delta-one and quantitative macro credit strategies, building on an existing options and volatility franchise. This is a rare opportunity to help shape a build-out from the ground up rather than inherit a legacy book.

What you'll focus on:

  • Credit indices (CDX), credit ETFs, and Delta One products
  • Mean reversion and trend-following signal research
  • Cross-asset relative value and statistical/ML-driven alpha generation
  • Taking research from idea to live production alongside the PM

What they're looking for:

  • Proven systematic research experience in macro and delta one credit products
  • Track record designing and deploying mean reversion, momentum, or RV strategies
  • Strong statistical/ML toolkit - Python required, C++/kdb+q a plus
  • Advanced degree in a quantitative field (Math, Stats, CS, Physics, Engineering)
  • Comfort owning research end-to-end, from signal to live PnL

This is a small, senior team (PM + 1 QR currently) - high visibility, direct PM access, and real ownership over a growing book. Not a large, siloed research org.

Compensation is highly competitive and reflective of the seniority of the build-out.
